He was one of the lead archaeologists during the Seaford Rail excavations that saw some 17 individuals exhumed from an area subject to a rail development, which in itself was a highly political project requiring advanced project management and inter-personal skills given the number of Traditional Owners from two different groups on site at any one time.

He has a first class honours degree in Australian history, also from Murdoch University, and was the inaugural winner of the C.A.L.M. prize for environmental history at Murdoch in 1991. Dr Gifford also won the Natalia Davies prize for Australian history at the University of Adelaide in 1983.

Dr Gifford is the author of two books - Black and white and in between: Arthur Dimer and the Nullarbor (2002) and No Winners: The British Seamen’s Strike of 1925 (2005) - and numerous journal articles dealing with Indigenous and other areas of Australian history. In 2000 Dr Gifford contributed two chapters to Facing North: A Century of Australian Engagement with Asia, Vol. 1, published by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade to mark the centenary of Federation.

He has also taught courses in Aboriginal history at Murdoch University and the University of Notre Dame Australia, Fremantle.

In 1993 he was the first ethno-historian appointed by the WA Museum’s Department of Aboriginal Sites (since incorporated into the Department of Aboriginal Affairs heritage section); his Nullarbor book resulted from research begun while at DAS.

It was as a result of his Nullarbor work with the late Mr Arthur Dimer that Dr Gifford became involved with Dr Neale Draper and the Goldfields Land and Sea Council in native title research for the Ngadju and Mirning groups, of whom Mr Dimer was a senior representative. In particular Dr Gifford assisted Mr Dimer in the drafting of affidavits based on the life experience related in the book on which they collaborated.

Dr Gifford has also conducted extensive oral history interviews with Noongar, Yamatji and Banyjima people.
